I know you think I won't amount to anything,
You keep reminding me I'll never have the means
To buy you fancy clothes and treat you like I said some day I would.
And don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
Go on and sleep away the memories of night time fun,
I'd never hassle with you like most guys would have done,
And I've never questioned you 'bout where you go
And all the things you do.
So don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
The bed of roses that you seek you could never lie in
Pretending to be what you're not, you see, will only bring you crying.
Ah you better roll it over in your mind carefully
Before you see that you could do far better than me.
Ow, look at the queen in her ragged gown
Demanding to her jester a crown to hold.
So don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
Yeah, don't you complain, babe. Don't let me hear you complain, babe.
You're riding on a lollipop train and you never had it so good.
